My daughter is heading to a college with amazing free cafeterias - any advice?

[Anonymous]

First of all, the Freshman 15 is caused primarily by alcohol, late-night eating, and lack of activity - especially for those who used to play sports in high school. The calories from alcohol play a much bigger role than whatever food is being ingested in the cafeteria.

Second of all, back off, OP.

Even the best of the best spreads get tiring after awhile. I once was on a 2 week luxury cruise and by day 10 all the (very nice/high end) food made me wanna gag. She won't be tempted by the cafeteria food past October. Trust me.

Come sit next to me, and let's continue to trash the hopefully troll OP who is a nightmare.

I guess OP's shaming might lead the daughter to drink the lower-calorie Crystal Light and Vodka.

That’s exactly what my cousin’s father said to her; she cried then went on a whole new health kick and hasn’t looked back

Just let your kid live her life. Don't micromanage which juice she drinks.

Write a letter to the dean expressing your concerns. And your daughter will be fine as she will have so much freshman year sex the calories will just sweat off.

...guys I'm pretty sure this is a joke post poking fun at the "how to survive a triple" poster
("maybe he can sleep in your helicopter" is one of the funniest things I've read all week)

Having just written a check for $2,100 to cover my kid's meal plan for fall semester, I am curious where this school with the free cafeteria is. I think I made the wrong choice!

Tang, I agree with you. Fresh-squeezed OJ? What weird ideas you have.

“SERIOUSLY, ORANGE JUICE ISN'T HEALTHY” - THE NEW YORK TIMES

https://www.nytimes.com/2018/07/07/opinion/sunday/juice-is-not-healthy-sugar.html

12oz glass has 10 TEASPOONS OF SUGAR

Most kids down a 12 or even 20oz glass without twice thinking about it.

Only Americans put this much thought into whether a freshly squeezed fruit is healthy or not. Then do a bunch of tests, conclude it’s better to stop drinking the juice and instead gulp down a gallon of sugar-free caffeinated soda filled with chemicals because they want a refreshing drink. Then they complain that their kids have neurological and hormonal disorders. ?

There is something seriously wrong with you, OP.

I KNOW you are joking.

Because if this is real, Mom, you are in for a rocky farkin ride.

Buckle up.

Are there a couple easy to digest tips for that environment to stay fit? One thing that I did clarify after her orientation is that orange juice -- even fresh squeezed -- (in the morning) isn't healthy. She thought it was the coolest thing and was sending me pics of her enjoying a tall glass each morning.

My advice to you would be not to eat there if it's a problem for you.
